Every job is handled by licensed, insured technicians with upfront written pricing, and backed by a workmanship guarantee, with free estimates for all of New Brighton and nearby areas.
A standard sweep is all you need if your chimney isn’t showing signs of damage or blockages. We use rotating brushes and high-powered vacuums to pull out years of buildup, leaving your flue clean and your fireplace drawing like new. In New Brighton’s humid climate, creosote forms faster than in drier areas, so timing matters. Our sweeps start at $120, with no surprise charges for ‘extra deposits’ or ‘hidden creosote.’ We’ll show you exactly what we’re cleaning out so you know you’re getting real value, not just a quick rinse.
Call about this serviceIf your chimney has thick, tar-like creosote (especially common in older New Brighton homes with wood stoves), we don’t just scrape it off, we remove it completely with specialized tools. Level 2 or 3 creosote is a fire hazard, but we handle it without damaging your masonry or overcharging for ‘emergency’ work. Our creosote removal starts at $180, and we’ll explain why your chimney ended up this way so you can prevent it next time. No upselling for ‘preventative treatments’ you don’t need.
Call about this serviceNot every chimney issue requires a full repair. We’ll inspect your flue, smoke chamber, and masonry in New Brighton’s variable weather conditions to spot cracks, rust, or structural weaknesses before they become expensive problems. Our inspection starts at $95, and we’ll give you a clear quote for any needed work, no vague estimates or pressure to book right away. If your chimney’s fine, you’ll know for sure. If it’s not, we’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it without overpaying.
Call about this serviceWood and pellet stoves in New Brighton homes get gunked up faster than fireplaces because of how they burn. We clean the stove pipe, smoke chamber, and flue to restore proper airflow and prevent dangerous creosote buildup. Our stove cleanings start at $150, and we’ll check for common issues like rusted pipes or improper clearances that waste fuel and create hazards. Unlike some sweeps, we won’t charge extra to ‘inspect’ your stove, it’s part of the service.
